I never cared for this name, because of the legend I guess. It just makes me think of a temptress or a siren (which probably shouldn't put me off since I adore Parthenope, but somehow Lorelei just seems...slimier). I never cared for the sound, either; I guess it is a bit mysterious and alluring, but it also has a snobby, childish feel. On a person, it evokes the image of an entitled, mid-30's, wannabe enchantress who goes after younger guys who only feign to worship her because of her wealth. Mmph. I'd take just Laura or Lorna over it any day.

I think it's a good name for rocks and water spirits, but I never will get the appeal of it as a name for people.
